Hi,
make sure you get the newest version.. homepage here:
http://www.affenbande.org/~tapas/wiki/admin.php?jack_convolve
tarball[s] here [minor optimization attempts since last tarball]:
http://affenbande.org/~tapas/jack_convolve/
I also created another example file where i use a different response
file [the one used for the other two examples was noisy]. hear you hear
the convolution result get mixed in and out:

Aqualung 0.9beta4 released
http://aqualung.sf.net
I am pleased to announce the fourth public beta release of Aqualung,
a music player for GNU/Linux. Aqualung plays audio files from your
filesystem and has the feature of sample-accurate track changing (no
gaps inserted between adjacent tracks). It also supports high quality
sample rate conversion between the file and the output device, when
necessary.
Supported formats include: almost all sample-based, uncompressed files
(eg. WAV, AIFF, AU etc.), FLAC (the Free Lossless Audio Codec), Ogg
Vorbis, MPEG Audio (including the infamous MP3 format) and MOD audio
formats (MOD, S3M, XM, IT, etc.). The program can play the music
through OSS, ALSA or the JACK Audio Connection Kit.
Other features include LADSPA plugin support, multiple skin support &
state persistence via XML config files. The so-called Music Store
provided by Aqualung is an XML-based music database for arranging your
music collection.
This new release adds many new features, including file metadata
(FLAC/Vorbis/ID3) display & importing, volume calculation and playback
RVA (relative volume adjustment) support.
All users are encouraged to upgrade. Download the new version from the
project homepage: http://aqualung.sf.net
You can read the changelog below. Hope you enjoy this release.

* Aqualung 0.9beta4
http://aqualung.sf.net
INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES: [none]
NEW LIBRARY DEPENDENCIES:
* liblrdf 0.4.0 is now required (was: 0.3.7)
http://lrdf.sourceforge.net
* libid3tag library required if you want ID3v2 support
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=12349
MAJOR CHANGES:
* Internationalization support via gettext. German, Hungarian
and Ukrainian translations available; new translations for any
language happily accepted at any time
* Implemented read support for .m3u and .pls
playlist formats. The formats are distinguished using
file extensions (case insensitive). Now you can supply .m3u or .pls
files on the command line, or select one in the Load/Enqueue Playlist
option of the playlist window's popup menu. Aqualung does not
implement shoutcast ATM, so URLs will be simply discarded.
* new 'File info' dialog box (accessible from the Music Store and
the Playlist) displays FLAC stream metadata, Ogg Vorbis comments and
ID3v2 tags found in the soundfiles.
* playback RVA support. Aqualung has its own system for this, from
volume level calculation of files in the Music Store, to adjusting
the dynamics characteristics to your listening environment.
* Import FLAC/Vorbis/ID3v2 metadata into the Music Store via the
'File info' dialog accessed from the Music Store.
On the right side of the tag data fields, there are buttons
to import every piece of information into relevant fields
of the Music Store database.
In particular, ID3v2.4 RVA tags can be imported as manual RVA
adjustment values.
* many changes to enable displaying track lengths and RVA values
in the Playlist. You can configure the column order in the Playlist,
and displaying Lengths and RVA values can be turned off.
(Track lengths are shown on the right side, RVA is hidden by default.)
* New Settings notebook page "Playlist" for configuring the behavior of
this stuff.
* new remote option to terminate an already running instance:
the -Q or --quit option will cause the instance specified by -N, or
the 0-th instance by default, to terminate (just as if you exited it
normally).
* added support for remotely changing the volume via the --volume or
-V option. Defaults to the 0th running instance.
* major code rearrangement of Aqualung Core
(file decoder is abstracted, runnable in multiple instances at the
same time, separated in file_decoder.[ch])
* added all four basic aqualung skins (dark, default, metal, woody) to
CVS. These are automatically available after a make install from now,
no need to install them separately.
* also, the skins have been updated to match recent new dialogs & widgets
* docs update (manpage, HTML) for the beta4 release.
MINOR CHANGES:
* ./configure won't stop anymore if an optional library is missing,
unless --with-PACKAGE is applied. Closes mantis bug #16.
* Changes to the interface for adding files to the playlist
locally or remotely
* Implemented conversion from/to UTF8/locale charset. (Closes mantis
bug #7). Note: please set the environment variable G_BROKEN_FILENAMES
or G_FILENAME_ENCODING appropriately if your filesystem encoding is
not UTF8. See http://developer.gimp.org/api/2.0/glib/glib-running.html
for details.
* Starting playback of a new track via double-clicking
on it in the playlist is now allowed when another track
is being paused. (Closes bug #14)
* Implemented cue-from-paused-state functions (re: bug #15) as
suggested by SGh.
* Added check for pkg-config -exist "jack" to configure.ac.
Up till now, the ./configure script failed to detect the condition
when the jack daemon is present, but development files are not.
(As if you installed JACK from a distro, but forgot to include
the corresponding -dev package.)
* Implement trashlist object to collect and eventually
free pieces of memory that are malloc'ed in an ad-hoc
manner in different places, but need to be freed sometime.
* Use the trashlist to collect and free some memory that
was leaked until now in LADSPA plugin dialogs and the
File info dialog.
* renamed "Options" dialog to "Settings". This name better suits the
purpose of this dialog.
* minor rearrangement of "Add Artist", "Edit Artist", "Add Record",
"Edit Record", "Add Track" & "Edit Track" dialogs, hopefully for
the better.
* changed About box font to normal (Courier is not always available)
* Workaround LADSPA plugin loading bug on ReiserFS
(use the --with-brokenplfix configure option)
The other suggestions should good, but alternatively
you write a patch in Pure Data to do this, using the
built-in object fiddle~, which estimates pitch (fairly
accurate with tweaking) and a LADSPA pitch shifter
(the best I've found is pitchScaleHQ from the
collection at www.plugin.org.uk). PD takes a while to
learn how to use, but once you have it's great for
doing stuff like this quickly.

No, unfortunately not. PD 'interprets' the patch, but
it can use Jack and run LADSPA plugins inside it...
though once you get into it the ability to completely
customise effects, synths etc. often makes the idea of
plugins seem a little restricted. It's well documented
and there's a good mailing list for it, so post there
if you have any problems.
> or do I have to run it managed?
Sorry I don't know what this means, so I guess the
answer's no.
Good luck

Hi,
has anyone tried the M-Audio Transit USB with ALSA yet? (Its bigger
cousin, the USB Audiophile is supported according to alsa-project.org.)
I'm looking for a not-too-expensive USB audio interface for my laptop,
and the Transit would fit nicely, as I already have a usb midi interface.

I wonder if linear models of the classic tube EQs are really
sufficient to recreate their special character ... or if they needed
to go to non-linear models. A non-linear approach would add
a whole level of complexity to the system, the outboard would
need to be probed at many amplitude levels, and the amplitude
level of the input of each cloned EQ would need to be monitored, etc.

I was interested in the thread about firewire audio device support
in Linux a while back. Just the other day I noticed that Presonus is
just up the road from where I live so I thought I'd drop them a line and
ask about their two firewire interfaces and if they would consider
releasing specs to the Linux audio community to get drivers written for
them. I received two responses, both of which seem promising:

Just thought I'd throw this out on the list to see what feedback I
get. I hope I didn't step on anyone's toes. If you know someone who
would be interested in working on drivers please pass this to them.
Contact information for Presonus is available on their web page.

I am writing a HOWTO for the benefit of knoppix users
who want to utilize rosegarden21 which is included on
the knoppix LiveCD.
Since this is for the LiveCD users, upgrading to
rosegarden4 is not an option.
I figured out how to get /dev/sequencer working, now
sndstat tells me my first device is "MPU-401 0.0 Midi
interface #1" and I am able to get rosegarden to
output midi.
However, I'm unable to get rosegarden21 to record any
midi notes. On my midi setup screen, it lists the
device as /dev/sequencer, and the record device (which
I cant modify) says (null device), then if I try to
record and check again, the record device says
"MPU-401 0.0 Midi interface #1" but no note events
got recorded into the track.
I know most everybody's moved away from OSS to ALSA
but does anybody remember how to test the midi input
under OSS? I can't tell if my /dev/midi is working
like my /dev/sequencer is.
BTW I notice the notes I play on my midi keyboard do
trigger the module connected to the soundcard's midi
out even with no application running.

Hi All -
The attached patch improves on the patch posted
Friday night on the same subject.
1. a line from my copy of sound/usb/usbaudio.c didn't
make the earlier patch and it's essential
2. the earlier patch was treating the output stream as
USB Bulk when it should be USB Interrupt (1ms)
3. the earlier patch was not dealing with input properly
causing the input side to become inoperative after
the first application closes the MIDI device.
As before, this has been built and tested (and tested...)
on the latest Fedora Core 3 kernel from updates-released
(the 741 kernel) using an X-Station with the latest X-Station
firmware on a uniprocessor 32-bit intel machine.
The patch should apply cleanly to any kernel tree with
ALSA 1.7 and build just fine.
As before I'd be glad to hear feedback from people trying
this patch out with Novation Speedio or Novation ReMOTE 25
(the MIDI-only one).
Thanks in Advance,
ccb
Next: Mixman DM-2
